' 1930. Serial vices, and particularly to devices for winding tresses ofhair for hair-waving treatments; the present application being adivision of my co-pending application Serial No. 331,994, filedOctober12, 1928. v I I In general, it is an object of the invention toprovide a device of the character'descrlbed which is simple andeconomical of manufacture and on which tresses of hair may be readilyand securely wound. 7

Another object is to provide improved means for facilitating thewindingof hair on a curling device. v

Other objects of the invention will in part be obvious and will in partappear hereinafter.

The invention accordingly comprises an article of manufacture possessingthe features, properties and the relation of elements which will beexemplified in the article here-f inafter described, and the scope ofthe appli cation of which will be indicated in the claims.

For a fuller understanding of the nature and objects of theinventionreieren'ce should be had to the following detailed descriptiontaken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which: 7

Fig. 1 is a partly sectional view of one form of hair-curling deviceconstructed 1n accordance with the invention; and I Fig. 2 shows thecurling device with the hair wound thereon.

In winding tresses of hair on acurlingdevice, and particularly intheCroquignole method of winding, inwhich laterally spread tresses of hairare wound upon themselves on a curling device, it is desirable toprovide means for permitting a free rotation of the. curling devlce, inthe direction in whichthe hair is'to be wound,while resisting rotationin the opposite direction.

There is shown in myco-pending application, above referred to, one formof such device wherein the curler is provided at one end with a knob andat the other end with a key member or supporting means to which there isattached means fitting'within one end of the curler for controlling therotation there 311,994.

of The present invention contemplates the p rov1s1on ofa. curler ofthejtype under cons derat on, whereln the support ng means is rigidly.held in place byan independent oelement, whereby lateral movement ofthe.curling element with respect to the holding elenientiis ,prevented-and whereby strain on a One form of -Jdevice, embodying the inventionis. shown in the drawings. This device comprises alcurlingelement 10having at within a reduced diameter of recess 18, which IS dJ SPOSQdinwardly ofthe recessl l. Inior+ der to prevent a lateral movement of.the

holding element 12 and the sleeve 13 with.re. spect tothe curlingelement 10, there is fixedly mounted ,on. the holding element 12 a rod19 which, in the present, instance, extends en.-

There is thusprovided a sturdy and easily operable construction wherein transversemovements of. thesleeve 13, which will tend to result in ,inefiicientoperation as well as in unnecessary w r, is a d d; v

' since certain changes maybe ;made in the above articleand differentembodiments of the invention could'be made without departing from thescope thereof, it is intended that all matter contained in the abovedescription or shown. in the accompanying drawingsrotationcontrollingmechanism is eliminated.

shall beinterpretedas illustrative and not in alimiting sense. I y

- It is also to be understood that the following claims areintended tocover all of the generic and specific features of the invention hereindescribed, and all statements offthe scope of the invention which, as'amatter of language, might be said to fall therebetween.

Having described my invention, what I disk attached to the end of saidrod and fitting within the recess of said knob.

2. A hair-curling device, comprising a curling element, an attachingelement, a stepped chamber at the end of the curling element adjacentsaid attaching element, a sleeve on said attaching element extendinginto the outer portion of said chamber, a spring fitting within saidsleeve and within the inner portion of said chamber, and a membercarried b said holding element and extending into said curling elementfor preventing longitudinal movement of said curling element withrespect to said holding element. p 3. A hair-curlin devicecomprising a.curl ing element, a hold ingvelement, means to prevent relative rotationof said curling element and said holding element in one direction whilepermitting relative rotation of said elements in the other direction,and a member carried by said holding element and extend ing into saidcurling element for preventing longitudinal movement of said curlingelement with respect to said holding element;

4. A haincurlin device comprising a curling element, a holding element,means to pre-' vent the relative rotation of saidelements in onedirection while permitting relative rotation thereof in the otherdirection, and a rod connected with said holding element and extendingthrough said curing, element and provided with a disk-like member at itsfurther end for preventing relative longitudinal movement of saidholding element and said curling element.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
